I believe in using every moment. 

Last summer I went to a sleep away camp for 3 weeks for the first time. I hated it at first their was no AC and the food tasted horrible.  To make it all worse I didn't know anyone there. But what helped me was remembering that. Whether I liked it or not, time was finite in 3 weeks no matter what the camp would be over so there was no point moping about it so I may as well try and enjoy it.

 If I’m lucky I’ll live to around 80 so I’ll get about 4000 weeks no matter what if I like it or not every week one four thousandth of my life disappears time is finite so enjoying every week I have is important I’m not saying, I think I should be upbeat every second of everyday and I know I will have bad days but there's no point moping about things I can’t control because no matter what I will be dead in 4000 weeks whether I like it or not time is finite.

Time will pass and because of that. Friendships need maintenance and care because if I don’t talk to someone for long enough I forget who they are and. People change, they get more mature, their humor changes, they get new and more interests. Their body language changes and I change over time too. Without talking to one another on a regular basis I will grow apart with the people around me. So it’s important I can use every moment I have with them the best I can.

The world changes, new technologies emerge, new people are born, new governments elected, new normals adopted and if I don’t keep up it won’t wait for me, new presidents I will need to vote for or new state or city officials. Laws change without me knowing something that’s legal one day is illegal the next day. Something acceptable one day is not another. Now most of these changings don’t really happen in a day but if I let life pass me by without using the few moments I have. It will feel like the changes took a day, an hour or maybe I won’t even notice at all. Others don’t wait for me to apologize or show up to an event because eventually they will leave without me because everyone has limited moments. Schools won’t wait for me to apply to them. That's why early decision exists when I apply for colleges. Everyone values me coming to a decision quickly because everyone there has limited moments too. 

I believe that we should use every moment. Everyone has limited moments no matter how much I want them to or not everyone is on their own timetable, everyone is trying to use every moment they have somehow whether they are trying to let life pass them by or be with their loved ones. Everyone wants to make sure they use their moments how they want because. They all have their own things to get done before their 4000 weeks, their life is up.
